April is always a challenging month on this blog. I am of course referring to the blogging/poetry challenges that take place this time of year.
For 2021, I’m participating in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge, where one commits to 26 posts in April (every day except Sundays) with daily topics A to Z as the month progresses. Specific theme optional.
I participated in this challenge in 2016 and 2017, then skipped three years to do the NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month) challenge. But I’m back!
My theme: as I did in 2017, I will post a 5-7-5 alliterative poem each day (a poem in the form of three lines with corresponding syllables per line of 5, 7 and 5). Not a bona fide haiku, just a similar syllabic sentiment.
I will be the angel of alliteration, the beacon of brevity, the clutterer of clarity, the de– … well, you get the idea. If you want to see how that played out in 2017 you can read those posts beginning here.
Anybody can participate in this challenge. How about you? Are you game?
That’s great to hear. I’ll be doing the NaPoWriMo, I suppose, like I did three years in a row, even though I don’t feel inspired at all. We shall see. Looking forward to reading you.

Since I can preplan the A to Z posts, I might attempt some of NaPoWriMo, too. You always do so well with it, I’m sure inspiration will find you!

I look forward to be following your A to Z! Me too, I participated twice before, but then didn’t do it for years. Am signing up this year again. Good luck with the challenge! Still a few days to go before it breaks loose…
